I don't generally think of myself as a 'punter' - to me that's just a betting term. If I think of myself as anything in this context, I suppose it's a 'client'.

When I'm in contact with ladies I hate referring to an appointment, as if they're going to pull a tooth for me, or, even worse, a booking. Equally, I wouldn't be so presumptious as to call it a 'date'. I normally refer simply to our meeting or, if trying to hint a little more at intimacy, our liaison. It's just occurred to me that I could use the word 'tryst', but even I'm not that pretentious!

I usually refer to the gentlemen I see as clients, punter is an ugly sounding word to me, I only usually use it if I'm annoyed with one! If I was waiting for a client to turn up I would say I had an appointment, but in contact with the client I'll follow their lead (so if they email or phone or text me asking for a date, a meeting, a booking, a session, etc, that's what I'll call it when I'm talking to them).

EDIT: I don't use the word 'tricks' usually, as I understand it's usually used more in reference to street work? Which is a shame, as I rather like it

I tend to use the word "client" rather than punter, but only because the word "punter" just doesn't seem to come naturally to me. I've always just used the word "booking" out of habit, but if my client seems to have a preferred word I'll used that. I love the word "trick," and don't use it nearly enough. I think I may start referring to my bookings as tricks from now on.
